    Author Notes:

    It’s just one day….

    In the evening I sit out the back where Tee and I used to sit, my plan is simple, do as little as possible tonight. The only light is a candle flickering. There is the slightest breeze. I order a pizza and grab a beer from the fridge. It’s 8pm Saturday night and I do not plan on going anywhere, taking any calls or asking anyone over. I put on some music, music Tina and I used to listen too. I know from experience that the more alcohol I drink, the harder it is not to get depressed. I am careful how much I drink.

    This morning I conceded that I still have some things to work out and the only call I made today was to Dan Foxworthy to make an appointment. It nearly killed me to do it but the saving grace is no one else has to know. I get my second beer and I feel the weeks tensions begin slip away a little. I think about Tina and Laurel, it is hard not to. I wonder what they are doing tonight, are they at home alone, or with Sam or is Tina out and about. I pick up a piece of pizza, I left the pizza in the box. I thought about how Tee and I used to do this sometimes and then we’d make love in the pool. Just the smallest bit tipsy and uninhibited, the hours we spent devouring each other but I don’t think about it in a morbid way, so close, seems so real, not so long ago.

    I close my eyes and bend one knee, I have no shoes on. I hum to the music with feeling. It must be going on 9pm, I know the girls will go out later. I still haven’t spoken to Alice, since I had the company. Kit will be playing a gig. Shane will head out later. I rest my beer on my knee, let it rest on an angle and random memories of Tina and I and of my travels flood back to me. Tina and I first meeting, that always make me smile, days we didn’t get out of bed, the day we found out she was pregnant, the memories are endless and priceless. Mexico, the beauty and the poverty probably because I am drinking a Corona. Prague, the magestic architecture. St Petersburg the ballet. I wish Tina had been there to see it with me. I think about the pieces of art Tina would have loved. I am glad I stayed in tonight. I think I needed it, no I know I needed to be here. I unconsciously reach for my wedding ring on my chain. “Happy Anniversary Tee.” I say it out loud hoping wherever she, she knows I wish her well and I have not forgotten us.

    1. Oh GOD – when Tina said ” happy anniversary Bette ” i just cried. Please just get rid of whateverhernameis and get them together.
      great writing by the way :-)

    2. I just started your story this morning and read it straight through. Very Good! The one thing I have noticed that all the fanfic writers seem to have on thing in common, that being, all of you are in the same place when it comes to B&T communicating their true feelings to each other. Is that how most of us are in real life? In every story, Tina has always been the one that is just seeing one person, where Bette is always having one night stands or wallowing in misery,alone. I agree that time heals all wounds, physical and emotional but, doesn’t it also teach us a lesson? If the lack of communication broke the relationship, why do we not learn a lesson from that? I am looking forward to where you will take our favorite couple next. Five stars!

    3. Bette should let her HEART talk and not her brain. Then it will honest and from the heart. At least they are talking again.and Bette will get to see Laural

    4. This chapter really touched my heart. I could feel Bette’s melencholy. I too was surprised when Tina showed up and can’t wait to hear Bette’s definition of family.

    5. Just wondering but why is Bette so soft in every fanfic that I read. It’s very disconcerting. But I guess that’s what you get after traveling through Europe seeing all those old majestic buildings. Anywho’s can we try and give Bette back some of the balls she lost before she made that monumental mistake. I know Tina has become this strong woman and Bette obviously has become vulnerable but does she have to be vulnerable with everything. Great chappy, and writing. btw I can’t for the life of me get the picture of sexy Bette pulling down her shirt with puppy in hand out of my mind. *sigh*

    6. Oh slipperynipple, yes that is a good visual of Bette. I don’t know about her being soft though, she’s just soft when it comes to her and Tina (and Laurel). Didn’t seem too soft with Sam ! Don’t worry, Bette will always be Bette. Incidently, I felt a bit the same way about season 2. I wanted the Bette of old, but I think Tina competes her, hence the softness there. Plus I have a bit of that in my life, so I get it. My other half, is definately the better half !

    7. I meant to say too that Bette had to have some self reflection, who wouldn’t after the end of season 1 ? Travelling and art just gave her something to identify with :-)

    11. i cant comment yet. im so late for work im gonna be in soooo much trouble. just know ill be back and let you know what i think., im sure youll be waiting with baited breath.

    12. Ah the responsibility – first post. Now I have to think of something erudite.
      Unbeknown all I can say is that I’m really enjoying your tale I’m following it all & wishing for more – & more importantly recomending this one to my friends. I hate that you finished this chapter hear – I want to hear Tina let Bette off the hook & expliain Sams role in her life & I think if they both get nostaligic & tipsy this evening they need to be wary of getting too close & regretting or backtracking later – as life is filled with obsticles & temptations thats exactly what I can see happening with these two who still have such deeply denied feelings for each other…?!
      Thankyou

    18. I loved it–as always your writing is fantastic! I was so glad that Tina came by rather than just called…it speaks volumes on how she really feels, but, I get a little nervous when she asks those loaded questions of Bette. I hope Bette can continue to be open and honest with her feelings and that Tina really listens–and not just with her ears! Thanks!

    19. Nice update. Bette tell her why you came back. No matter what those two have been through or done to each other, the love they have has always been stronger than any obstacle put in their path. Keep going girls, you’ll get there. Its not nostalgia, or alchol, its fact they love each other they always have, and when you love someone that much, it doesn’t go away no matter what. Looking forward to Bette’s answer, be honest Bette.
